Our health insurer requires us to visit a dietician once a year to maintain all benefits and it's great. The last two I've seen are all for getting everything you need from your diet. Mine are never sick and have a great diet, although I have never in my life been to the doctor with sickness and had a terrible diet so I think sometimes that's not the best measure.

Everyone in our family takes Vitamin D every day throughout winter. Studies have shown that you need it and it's next to near impossible to get it through your diet unless you're drinking/eating fortified products.

I don't but was planning on giving them some at the beginning of last winter. I to my local health shop for a recommendation, they asked about their daily food intake & general health & said their diet was good enough & the fact that they are in good health they didn't need any supplements.,I also spoke to a nutritionist as well as a pharmacist & they all agreed so I didn't bother & they sailed through winter without any flues etc.

Eldest gets fish oil every day as concentration is not great, he has been taking them about 3 years and i cant say ive noticed a huge change, maybe only a little. The other two get nothing and are rarely sick.

Glad I'm not the only one. My friend gives her boys daily vitamins, but they are still sick every week... So I'm not seeing the benefits on her side. Mine good eaters and rarely sick so no need I think.

When we were kids we used to have the glass jar with the colourful vitamins like sweets, with the cotton wool on top. Anyone remember them?!

This time of the year yes i give her vitamin c and d. She's a chronic asthmatic so vitamin s is great for her and most people in ireland are vitamin d deficient thanks to lack of sunshine. Vitamin c is to try keep her immune system high and keep away colds and chest infections.
